Accounting Policies, by Policy (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2012

Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Use of Estimates

In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates, required by management, include the allowance for bad debt, valuation of inventories and recoverability of long-lived assets and goodwill. Actual results could differ from those estimates

Business Combinations Policy [Policy Text Block]

Business Combination

For a business combination, the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree are recognized at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. In a business combination achieved in stages, the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, are recognized at the full amounts of their fair values. In a bargain purchase in which the total acquisition-date fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired exceeds the fair value of the consideration transferred plus any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree that excess in earnings is recognized as a gain attributable to the acquirer.

Deferred tax liability and asset are recognized for the deferred tax consequences of differences between the tax bases and the recognized values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740-10

Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Goodwill, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Goodwill

Goodwill is the excess of purchase price and related costs over the value assigned to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of businesses acquired. In accordance with ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other,” goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment, annually or when circumstances indicate a possible impairment may exist. Impairment testing is performed at a reporting unit level. An impairment loss generally would be recognized when the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, with the fair value of the reporting unit determined using discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis. A number of significant assumptions and estimates are involved in the application of the DCF analysis to forecast operating cash flows, including the discount rate, the internal rate of return and projections of realizations and costs to produce. Management considers historical experience and all available information at the time the fair values of its reporting units are estimated.

ASC Topic 350 also permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test is required to be performed. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company performed qualitative assessment for the goodwill. Performing the qualitative assessment involved identifying the relevant drivers of fair value, evaluating the significance of all identified relevant events and circumstances, and weighing the factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. After evaluating and weighing all these relevant events and circumstances, it was concluded that a positive assertion can be made from the qualitative assessment that it is more likely than not that the fair value of Diamond Bar is greater than its carrying amount. As such, it is not necessary to perform the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test for Diamond Bar reporting unit.

Accordingly, as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company concluded there was no impairment of goodwill

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents

Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Accounts Receivable

The Company’s policy is to maintain an allowance for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Based on historical collection activity, the Company recorded $226,137 and $0 as allowance for bad debts as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively

Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value with cost determined on a weighted-average basis, which approximates the first-in first-out method. Management compares the cost of inventories with the net realizable value and an allowance is made for writing down their inventories to market value, if lower. The Company did not record any provision for write-downs of inventory at December 31, 2012 and 2011

Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Plant, Property and Equipment and Construction in Progress

Plant, property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred; additions, renewals and improvements are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation is removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with 10% salvage value and estimated lives as follows:

Building and workshops	20 years
Computer and office equipment	5 years
Museum decoration and renovation	10 years
Machinery	10 years
Autos	5 years

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment attributable to manufacturing activities is capitalized as part of inventories, and expensed to cost of goods sold when inventories are sold.

Construction in progress represents capital expenditure in respect of direct costs of construction or acquisition and design fees incurred. Capitalization of these costs ceases and the construction in progress is transferred to the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. Construction in progress is not depreciated

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Including Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, there were no significant impairments of its long-lived assets except that the Company disposed of an obsolete and unused workshop and recognized a loss of $123,675 during the year ended December 31, 2012

Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Research and Development

Research and development costs are related primarily to the Company designing and testing its new products in development stage. Research and development costs are recognized in general and administrative expenses and expensed as incurred. Research and development expense was $497,859 and $164,720 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively

Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates, applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company follows ASC Topic 740, which prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods, and income tax disclosures.

Under the provisions of ASC Topic 740, when tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.

China’s Corporate Income Tax Law (“CIT Law”), together with its Implementation Regulations, effective as of January 1, 2008, introduced a set of anti-avoidance measures under its special tax adjustments regulations. In January 2009, the State Administration of Taxation issued Circular of the State Administration of Taxation on the Issuance of the Implementation Measure of Special Tax Adjustments (“Circular 2”). The regulation is applied retrospectively for tax years beginning after January 1, 2008. Article 3 of Circular 2 states that in respect of transfer pricing administration, relevant tax authorities shall examine business transactions between enterprises and their related parties (“related-party transactions”) and evaluate whether they are conducted on an arm’s-length basis, in addition to conducting investigations and making adjustments, as required under the CIT Law and Article 36 of the PRC Tax Administration and Collection Law (“Tax Collection Law”).

The significant uncertain tax position arose from the transfer pricing between Nova Dongguan and Nova Macao, wherein the Company determined that the gross profit generated by Nova Dongguan from sales to Nova Macao was materially different from profits generated from sales to third parties. The statute of limitations for transfer pricing issues is 10 years from the tax year in which the transfer pricing issue arises pursuant to PRC tax law.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the amount of unrecognized tax benefits excluding interest and penalties (“Gross UTB”) for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011:

		Gross UTB
		2012				2011

Beginning balance at January 1		$	3,709,129			$	2,189,194

Increase in unrecorded tax benefits taken in current year			291,220				1,373,704

Exchange rate adjustment			10,308				146,231

Ending balance at December 31		$	4,010,657			$	3,709,129

At December 31, 2012, and 2011, the Company had cumulatively accrued approximately $610,000 and $310,000, respectively, for estimated interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits. The Company recorded interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense, which totaled approximately $291,000 and $135,000 for the years ended December 31, 2012, and 2011, respectively. If the entire unrecognized tax benefits were recognized as of December 31, 2012, it would affect the Company's effective tax rate.

The tax returns of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries are subject to examination by the relevant PRC tax authorities. According to the Tax Collection Law, the statute of limitations for underpayment of taxes is three years if the underpayment is due to computational errors made by the taxpayer or the withholding agent. Under special circumstances, the statute of limitations is extended to five years if the underpayment of taxes is more than RMB 100,000. In accordance with the Implementation Regulations of the CIT Law, the statute of limitations in the case of transfer pricing issues is ten years. There is no statute of limitations in the case of tax evasion.

Nova Dongguan is subject to taxation in the PRC. Nova Dongguan’s PRC income tax returns are generally not subject to examination by the tax authorities for tax years before 2007. With a few exceptions, the tax years 2007-2011 remain open to examination by tax authorities in the PRC; the tax year 2011 for US entities remains open to examination by tax authorities in the US

Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition.” Sales revenue is recognized when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed and no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. No revenue is recognized if there are significant uncertainties regarding the recovery of the consideration due, or the possible return of the goods. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are recorded as unearned revenue.

Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of value-added taxes (“VAT”). All of the Company’s products sold in China are subject to the PRC VAT of 17% of the gross sales price. This VAT may be offset by VAT paid by the Company on raw materials and other materials purchased in China and included in the cost of producing the finished product. The Company records VAT payable and VAT receivable net of payments in the consolidated financial statements. The VAT tax return is filed offsetting the payables against the receivables. Sales and purchases are recorded net of VAT collected and paid as the Company acts as an agent for the government

Franchise Arrangements [Policy Text Block]

Franchise Arrangements

In 2010, the Company began entering into area product franchise agreements with franchisees who operate specialty furniture stores carrying only Nova-branded products. The product franchise agreement provides for the franchisee to retail Nova-brand furniture products for a period of one year from the date of the agreement. The franchisee is required to pay a deposit of RMB 30,000 at the signing of the agreement, which is used as payment for future purchases and is deferred on the Company’s balance sheet as a customer deposit. The franchisee is required to guarantee a minimum purchase amount from the Company during the contract period. The Company has the right to terminate the agreement should the franchisee fail to meet the minimum purchase amounts. The Company provides the franchisee with store images and designs, signage, floor plan product information and training. In addition, the Company will rebate a per square meter subsidy to the franchisee for the store build-out within six months from the agreement date. The franchisee earns 30% of the rebate on its initial purchase from the Company and then at a rate of 5% of each subsequent purchase until fully refunded of its deposit or six months from the agreement date, whichever is earlier. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had franchising subsidy payable of $179,786 and $187,758, respectively. In accordance with ASC 605-50, as the Company does not receive an identifiable benefit from these rebates, the rebates are recorded as a reduction of revenue on sales to the franchisee

Cost of Sales, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales consists primarily of material costs, labor costs and related overhead that are directly attributable to the production of the products. Write-down of inventory to the lower of cost or net realizable value is also recorded in the cost of sales

Shipping and Handling Cost, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs related to delivery of finished goods are included in selling expenses. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, shipping and handling costs were $623,721 and $485,069, respectively

Advertising Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Advertising

Advertising expenses consist primarily of costs of promotion and marketing for the Company’s image and products, and costs of direct advertising. The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense was $519,692 and $455,571 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively

Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Earnings per Share (EPS)

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed similar to basic net income per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all the potential common shares, warrants and stock options had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted earnings per share are based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options and warrants were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method for the outstanding options and warrants, and the if-converted method for the outstanding convertible instruments. Under the treasury stock method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later) and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Under the if-converted method, outstanding convertible instruments are assumed to be converted into common stock at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later).

The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011:

		2012				2011
Net income		$	5,433,883			$	5,365,165

Weighted average shares outstanding – basic			18,530,591				14,506,915
Effect of dilutive securities:
Unexercised warrants			150,857				190,291

Weighted average shares outstanding – diluted			18,681,448				14,697,206

Earnings (loss) per share – basic		$	0.29			$	0.37
Earnings (loss) per share – diluted		$	0.29			$	0.37

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had no options to purchase shares of common stock outstanding and warrants to purchase 983,280 and 899,480 shares of common stock were outstanding and exercisable, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, 155,100 and 0 shares purchasable under the warrants were excluded from EPS as their effects were anti-dilutive, respectively

Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of accounts and other receivables. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support these receivables. The Company conducts periodic reviews of the financial condition and payment practices of its customers to minimize collection risk on accounts receivable.

Two and one major customers accounted for 32% (18% and 14% for each) and 24% of the Company’s sales for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Accounts receivable from these customers amounted to $7,310,616 and $1,953,305 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Company purchased its products from four major vendors during the year ended December 31, 2012, and from three major vendors during the year ended December 31, 2011, accounting for 48% (15%, 11%, 11% and 11% for each) and 31% (11%, 10% and 10% for each) of the purchases, respectively. Accounts payable to these vendors were $ 2,242,851 and $1,934,561 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The operations of the Company are located principally in China and the US. Accordingly, the Company’s Chinese subsidiaries' business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in China, as well as by the general state of the PRC economy.

The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments in China and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in PRC government policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

The Company’s sales, purchase and expense transactions in China and Macao are denominated in Chinese Yuan Renminbi (“RMB”) and Macau Pataca (“MOP”) (prior to 2011), respectively, and all of the assets and liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries in China and Macao are also denominated in RMB and MOP (prior to 2011), respectively. The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies under the current law. In China, foreign exchange transactions are required by law to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions. Remittances in currencies other than RMB may require certain supporting documentation in order to affect the remittance

Statement of Cash Flows Policy [Policy Text Block]

Statement of Cash Flows

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 230, “Statement of Cash Flows,” cash flows from the Company’s operations is calculated based upon local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet

Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Some of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term debt, have carrying amounts that approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” defines fair value and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

·	Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

·	Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

·	Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” and ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.”

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block]

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

The consolidated financial statements are presented in USD. The functional currency of Nova LifeStyle, Nova Furniture, Nova Macao and Diamond Bar is the United States Dollar (“$” or “USD”). The functional currency of Nova Dongguan and Nova Museum is RMB. The functional currencies of the Company’s foreign operations are translated into USD for balance sheet accounts using the current exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using the weighted-average exchange rate during the fiscal year. The translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, captioned “Accumulated other comprehensive income.” Gains and losses resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are included in “Other income (expenses)” in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. There have been no significant fluctuations in the exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to USD after the balance sheet date.

The RMB to USD exchange rates in effect as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, were RMB6.2855 = USD$1.00 and RMB6.3009 = USD$1.00, respectively. The weighted-average RMB to USD exchange rates in effect for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, were RMB6.3125 = USD$1.00 and RMB6.4588 = USD$1.00, respectively. The exchange rates used in translation from RMB to USD were published by the People’s Bank of the People’s Republic of China

Comprehensive Income, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company follows FASB ASC 220 “Reporting Comprehensive Income.” Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders. Comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 included net income and foreign currency translation adjustments

Segment Reporting, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Segment Reporting

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.

Management determined that the Company’s operations constitute a single reportable segment in accordance with ASC 280. The Company operates exclusively in one business and industry segment: the design, manufacture and sale of furniture. All of the Company’s long-lived assets for production are located at its facilities in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, China, and operate within the same environmental, safety and quality regulations governing furniture manufacturers. The Company established Nova Macao, and acquired Diamond Bar for the purpose of marketing and selling the Company’s products. As a result, management views the business and operations of Nova Dongguan, Nova Macao and Diamond Bar as a blended gross margin when determining future growth, return on investment and cash flows. Nova Museum, a non-profit organization engaged principally in the promotion and dissemination of the culture and history of furniture in China, has no operations or substantial assets other than its decorations and renovation, and its heritage and cultural assets are for the purpose of exhibition only.

Accordingly, management concluded that the Company had one reportable segment under ASC 280 because: (i) the Company’s products sold through Nova Dongguan, Nova Macao and Diamond Bar are created with similar production processes, in the same facilities, under the same regulatory environment and sold to similar customers using similar distribution systems; (ii) Diamond Bar is a U.S. furniture distributor based in California but operates under the same senior management of Nova Dongguan and Nova Macao, and management views the operations of Nova Dongguan, Nova Macao and Diamond Bar as a whole for making business decisions; and (iii) although Nova Museum is principally engaged in the dissemination of the culture and history of furniture in China, it also serves a function of promoting and marketing the Company’s image and products by providing a platform and channel for consumers to be exposed to the Company and its products, it is operated under the same management with the same resources and in the same location as Nova Dongguan, and it is an additive and supplemental unit to the Company’s main operations, the manufacture and sale of furniture

Reclassification, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts were reclassified to conform to the manner of presentation in the current period. The Company reclassified construction deposit of $634,830 to construction in progress as of December 31, 2011

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

New Accounting Pronouncements

On July 27, 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. The ASU provides entities with an option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If an entity concludes that it is more than 50% likely that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is not impaired, no further analysis is required. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, it would be required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset to measure the amount of actual impairment, if any, as currently required under US GAAP. The ASU is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted which the Company has elected to do for the year ended December 31, 2012. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

As of December 31, 2012, there are no other recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted that would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements
